The verdict

A reliable blue chambray short-sleeve with camp-collar ease; well-suited to warm months.

Fit

Camp collar and short sleeves signal maximum ease and relaxation; expect a boxy, shoulder-forward fit that layers easily over an undershirt.

Quality

Chambray from Drake's is typically a sturdy, plainweave blend that holds colour through multiple washes. Short-sleeved construction is simpler and less prone to wear at cuffs.

Price check

Mid-premium pricing for a chambray shirt with strong brand association. At this price, expect reliable construction and dye stability rather than exceptional uniqueness.

Best for

A summer wearer who values easy, repeatable casual wear and doesn't mind the chambray texture or modest wrinkle.

Care

Chambray benefits from cool water washing and air drying to preserve colour; heat can accelerate fading.

What owners report about Drake's button-ups

Owners rate the oxford cloth very highly — a four-shirt comparison review called it the softest tested and said it stayed soft after repeated washing — and the lined-but-unfused collar draws praise for its natural roll, though wearers note the roll varies shirt to shirt because they are handmade. Recurring complaints are practical rather than about quality: the cut is slim with high armholes, which one reviewer found uncomfortable next to roomier fits, and forum posters report the published size chart doesn't match delivered shirts because measurements are taken before washing. Posters who own several oxfords also report the fabric weight is not consistent across the range.

Strengths: Soft oxford cloth that holds up through washing and an unfused collar with a natural roll, made in the brand's own UK factory.
Watch out for: A slim cut with high armholes, size-chart measurements owners say overstate the delivered (washed) shirt, and fabric weight that varies between shirts — all at a top-of-category price.
Sizing: Forum posters report delivered shirts measure smaller than the online size chart (the brand takes measurements pre-wash), so go by actual garment measurements and consider sizing up if between sizes or broad-shouldered.
